Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin life as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies). There are also models allow you to include a ride-onboard for older children who want to walk but still need some assistance.
For a lightweight option that's great for city streets, take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo. It is easy to maneuver and has a large basket that is full of storage. It can accommodate twins from at birth and accepts two car seats or a carrycot with a seat. However, the seats have to face forwards and there's not enough space for a shopping bag under which is why you'll need a sidepack to do this.
If you're looking to take off-road trips, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a excellent choice. It's a side-by-side with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available on the market. It's easier to maneuver through narrow doors on public transport, and to climb up and over kerbs. It also has a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 double is another lightweight option that can be used by twins or a baby and toddler. The seats can be reclining in multiple positions with UPF 50plus sunshades.

Suspension
The quality of the suspension on a triple buggy is crucial to how easy it will be for you and your child to push. A smooth ride is vital because babies feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain like grass or dirt roads. Some models also come with locking front wheels to assist with maneuvering and getting over obstacles such as curbs.
Certain models come with air-filled tyres that are ideal for all-terrain riding, however they are susceptible to punctures. Be sure to keep an extra set of tyres in your trunk. Certain models come with gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They are less likely to puncture, but they may cause discomfort for your child if they decide to run.

MFM reviewer Kath test-driven the Urban Glide 2 with her newborn and 3-year-old and found it to be exceptionally adept on terrains that are difficult to traverse. "It was able to effortlessly navigate bumpy sidewalks and grass cobbles, dirt tracks and was easy for me to navigate around corners and climb up or down kerbs." The 16" rear wheels, when combined with the lockable swivel wheels on the front, make it a very stable jogging experience. The Urban Glide 2 has a lot of features, like an enormous seat unit that comes with padded cover, hood with 50+ UV protection and easy-to-use and rechargeable visibility lights.
Folding
A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded easily for storage. There are options that fold flat and stand up (as as if they're in a pushchair position) and also those that pop up to reveal a more umbrella-like fold that has an electric brake. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general, the easier it is to maneuver on rough terrain. This is especially true if the wheels are larger than the average. This will give you more stability and decrease the likelihood that your child will tip or flip over.
A popular option is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat, and transforms into a side-by-side double buggy when your child is old enough for them to sit next to each other. It's a comfortable and light-feeling model, which makes it easy to push and is packed full of extra features including raincover and a bumper bar.
Another option is the phil&teds sport which is future-proof since it's great as a single buggy from day one and then adapts to take 2 (or even three!) in its small footprint. It is a clever design of three wheels with a sling for greater maneuverability and stability.

It is a bit expensive however it comes with several distinctive features, like its one-click folding and many additional features, such as a bumper bar or raincover.
Stores
One thing that many people love about a quality triple wheeled double buggy is the storage capacity. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket as well as two zip pockets on the hood where you can keep your keys and phone. It's also designed to be able to handle a little rough terrain which makes it a great choice for family walks or all-terrain strolls.
Other models like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 offer plenty of space, and the ability to accommodate twins or a baby and a toddler (it takes their 'PiggyBack' board enable this). It's the slimmest side-by-side double available and it has some impressive technology that includes game-changing LED visibility lights on each side of the buggy frame to ensure safety in dim lighting conditions.
For something a little different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can accommodate twins from birth (it's open to the world and features a lie flat position). The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat but it still only weighs about 11kg, making it easy to move and lift. It can also take a car seat or carrycot, so you have the best of both worlds and it will help your budget in the future since you don't need to purchase a new buggy immediately.
